How to Grow A School Garden (2010, Bucklin-Sporer)
USDA/FNS has created a Farm to School Planning Toolkit for planning school garden programs that are part of a larger farm-to-school initiative at the district level. Baltimore City Public Schools has a robust farm-to-school program, and we're happy to help you connect your gardening efforts to other aspects of this program, such as cooking lessons, educational field trips to Great Kids Farm, or existing healthy food choices in the school cafeteria.
Ensure that your garden will be part of your school for years to come by building a team and creating institutional buy-in.
Identify your goals before your start planting. Who will use the garden? For what purpose?
